Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign.
Hey, I'm using Jeff and Brendan's 20 questions to help me get a feel for my upcoming Perdition campaign. Never done it before. Highly recommended. http://jrients.blogspot.com/2011/04/twenty-quick-questions-for-your.html http://www.necropraxis.com/2012/02/24/20-quick-questions-rules/
Goddamn sleep spell. Goddamn elf rolling 14 fucking hit dice of orcs and ogres to put to sleep.
ReplyDeleteI have recently come to hate sleep as a DM for precisely that reason.
ReplyDeleteIt saved them from losing at least two characters to a "Hold Person" spell. The swingyness of old school gaming is part of the charm.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, but it riles me when all of a sudden they've plowed through something I thought might take half an hour... :)
ReplyDeleteCasey Garske in Erik Tenkar's ACKS game we ran into a major fight: ogre and 16 orcs.
ReplyDelete2d8 HD of orc later (yes, he rolled a 16), the ogre went down in about a round. He hit me for 4, I hit him for 12. At that kind of exchange, it doesn't take long :)
I dislike sleep for different reasons. It doesn't really scale well.
ReplyDeleteBernd Pressler Sleep doesn't scale at all. Extremely powerful at low levels and pretty obsolete by levels 4/5
ReplyDeleteyup. But then again, the choice is not that bad, as I have a feeling that 50% of the D&D-like adventures seem to happen on levels 1-6. XD
ReplyDeleteAn ettin just knocked in the door on floor below, so they can have this one.
